sometimes, but what'sthe alternative? not playing? do you rememberbig toni? she quit last year, and now she worksat some bookstore. i mean, look at us. they treat us like hollywood starsover here.
we just played inthe championship game. it doesn't getmuch sweeter than this. [tv plays in spanish] chick hearn: they'vemade 7 straight points in this run.worthy for 3. stu, this gameis in the refrigerator. the door is closed.the lights are out. the eggs are cooling.butter gettin' hard, and the jell-o'sjigglin'.
and here come the subs, and, you know,it's nice to see the subs get a chance to play, and the fans love it. they really do. announcer:and quincy mccall is in for nick van exel. chick: quincy has gotthe ball over in the corner. puts up a 3-pointer.that's no good.
the former trojan came outafter his freshman year, and as they go downthe floor the other way, i can tell you that he hasmoved around quite a bit, but now he's trying to finda home with these lakers. quincy makes a steal.he's on his way. open court.look out, folks. it's showtime! nona? how is he?
not great. what is that,"not great"? he tore his a.c.l. almost didn't recognize youwith your hair like that. how you been? happy... and he won'twant to see you. hey, son. you made sports center.
what do you want? just came byto check on you. after 5 years? don't remember thatbeing all my fault. seems like you divorced me the same time as your mom. look... i know things look kind of bleakright now...
but don't get downon yourself. i stoppedtaking your advice a long time ago, or did you forget? you want meto step off, man? fine, but not untili say something. you're a better ballplayerthan i ever was... but that ain't the only thingyou got going for you.
you're smart, quincy. i always knewthat you could do anythingyou wanted to. you wantto play ball, son? then play ball. just know that you'renot like everybody else on that goddamned court. you're not like i was. you got options.
that's all i everwanted to show you. how comeyou couldn't be the man you kept tryingto make me? i just couldn't, son. good morning! and i thought thiswas gonna be awkward. uh... i--i got these. not that youneed any more.
so how're you doing? i'm, uh,i'm doing all right. i heard you were in spain. i was. i see your--your peach fuzzfinally grew in. just something newi'm trying. no, it looks good. i mean, it's cool. shouldn't--shouldn't yoube lying down?
no, no, i'm cool. uh, you canhave a seat. no, no, i'm fine. i'm fine. you still tryingto be the first girl in the n.b.a., huh? yeah, well, i triedsneaking in after college, but they found breastsduring my physical. that's funny.
i never did. oh, kiss my ass. i can't believeit's been 5 years. yeah, i tried calling youa couple of times. oh, yeah? yeah. i wantedto give you props on making first teamall-american, and then, you know, when magic retired,i tried again.
must have been my cheap-assanswering machine. it was always messing up. yeah, i figuredsomething like that. so when you going back? actually... i'm...i'm not. what do you mean? i'm tiredof playing overseas. i mean, i'm over thereby myself--
no family, no friends. my phone billis ridiculous. thinkin' about givin' ita rest for a while. a rest? i mean, basketball just isn't funfor me anymore. you know? quincy. hey, babe.
baby. nobody wouldswitch flights with me. oh, baby, what are youdoing out of bed? what are you doing? hello. baby,this is monica. oh, you guysgrew up together, right? quincy's told meall about you. monica, this is--this is kyra,
my fiancã©e. fian-fiancã©e? wow. i didn't know. that's--that's great.that's... well, um, i should go. monica, i reallyappreciate you coming by. yeah. we reallyappreciate it. quincy, good luckwith your knee
and everything. bye. your sister's bringingthe baby by later, so... be nice to be around. yeah, i can't waitto see her. need any help? no, i can manage,thank you. i--i justsaw quincy. how's he?
engaged. to that stewardess? yeah,you met her? his mother had a barbecuea few weeks back. he could do a lot better,if you ask me. so what do i do? find out wherethey're registered and send them a gift. is that still your answerto everything?
yeah, when you come at mewith bullshit like that. oh, no. are they cursingtheir mamas in spain? you didn't wantmy opinion, i don't even knowwhy you asked. i asked, but why does it always have to beso damn prissy? what do you want meto say, monica? go over thereand beat up the girl? go have sex with him?
'cause i'mnot gonna do it. yes, i thinkdecorum is important, and, yes,i'd rather bake a pie than shoota stupid jump-up shot. if that makes metoo prissy for you, then that'sjust too damn bad. so that's whywe can't get along? because i'd rather shoota stupid jump shot? you the onethat's always
turnin' your nose upat me. no, i don't. oh, yes.female superstar athlete whose mother isnothing but a housewife. that's not it. oh, don't tell meyou're not ashamed of me, 'cause i know. i remember wheni was 8 years old. you spent like 4 hours
cooking upthis big, fancy meal, and i guess you and dad got your wires crossedor something, 'cause in he walkswith a couple of pizzas, and you didn'tsay anything. you never stood upfor yourself. ever. if i was ashamed,it was because of that. that is ridiculous.
what's ridiculousis not being a caterer so your husbandcan feel like a man knowing his woman'shome cooking and ironing his drawers. damn it. oh, monica. is that reallyall you think about me? when your daddy and igot married, yes, i had dreams,
but i happen to havegotten pregnant with lena, and then i had you, so i had to putmy dreams on hold. you know what dayi remember? in high school, your spring dance, and i put my mother's pearls around your neck, and i told youyou were beautiful,
because you were. that day, i was happyi didn't have a catering businessto run off to. my familyhad 3 meals a day. they had somebodyto pick up after them... and when my daughterswent to a dance, i could help themget ready. that is whati came to care about. that's allyou cared about.
i must have played in a thousand games, and i can only rememberyou being at 2. you had your coachesand your daddy and everybodyfor that stuff. you knewit never mattered to you one way or anotherwhether i was at them games. it mattered, mama. it mattered.

i didn't get to send youan invitation, but-- oh, it's ok.it's ok. i'm probably-- you know. can i ask you something? you never told me why ballwasn't fun anymore. it just isn't. puhh!
'cause i'm kinda feelin'that way, too. had a rough coupleof years. that's all. i haven'tdribbled a ball in 4 1/2 months. i may miss someof the attention, but besides that-- you're serious. seems likei needed ball when i was tryingto be like my pop.
no. i was tryin' tobe better than my pop. now it's time i triedsomething different. like what? well, i'm thinkin' aboutgoin' back to school. what? oh. yeah.kyra hasn't heard aboutthe school thing yet. she'll probably say it'sthe painkillers talkin'. it's a trip, you know?
when you're a kid, you... you see the life you want, and it nevercrosses your mind that it's not gonnaturn out that way. so why did yougive up ball? why do you keepsweatin' me on that? because i don't get it. man, inever knew a girl, i never knew anyone wholoved ball as much as you.
now all of a sudden, you'regonna trade in your nikes for a pair of shoesyou can't even walk in. just leave it alone,all right? you need to puta sweater on him. it's a little chilly,sweetie. she's fine, ma. yes. her littleicicle arms are so sweet. all right, ma.
come on, lorraina. [crying] your grandmasays it's too cold. oh, grandma. [chuckling] ah! you know, monica... one of the things thatalways drove me crazy about you--
and i have to admitit made me jealous-- what i always admiredwas the fight in you. what are you talking about? well... i might bea little more prissy in this situationthan you, but remember when i said i thoughtquincy could do better? i was talkin' about you.
what's goin' on? we need to talk. you asked mewhat was missing. from basketball. you woke me upto tell me that? it's not fun for me anymorebecause you're missing. what i'm tryingto say is... i've loved yousince i was 11. it surewon't go away.
we haven't talkedsince college. you wait 2 weeksbefore my wedding to tell mesomething like that. i know. i probably shouldhave said it 2 weeks ago. you haven't changed.you still think the sun risesand sets on your ass. guess what? it doesn't. then whyare you so upset?
because youdon't pull this shit on someone who'sabout to get married. better latethan never. right? wrong. i'll play you. one game, one-on-one. [chuckles] for what? your heart.
you're out of your mind. so what?you gonna bitch up? huh. what's that supposedto be, some psychology? look, i know why you broke upwith me in college, and not that itwasn't messed up, but i should havebeen there for you. i just didn'tknow how to do that and be all about ball.
monica, after that stuffwith my dad, i couldn'ttrust anybody. ok? i was lost. that was 5 years ago. i've moved on. prove it. what will this prove? you once said the reasoni beat you was becauseyou wanted me to.
so... if i win, it's because deep down,you know you're about to makethe biggest mistake of your life. and deep down, youwant me to stop you. hunh... and what happenswhen you lose? if i lose...
i'll buy youa wedding present. first to 10. to 5. you scared? i have better thingsto do. check! why don't youd-up this time? 2-zip. 3-zip. where's the d?
